Chapter 289: Conflict in the Restroom

“No worries, it’s enough that you all are looking out for me.”

Mei Liangxin smiled at the three of them, clearly not believing anything could happen to him in Jiangzhou.

“By the way, what do you think about my proposal earlier? If you think it’s workable, we can refine the details further.” Zhang Wei poured Mei Liangxin a glass of alcohol, eager to showcase his ingenuity.

He felt that the thirty-six stratagems he bought online weren’t a waste, as he already learned how to lure the snake out of its hole.

Or you could call it entrapment.

“Let’s do it.” Mei Liangxin had no objections.

Having those people loitering outside was indeed annoying. Who knows, they could jump out suddenly even if you’re just using the restroom.

“Clink!”

Suddenly, Zhao Qing placed his wine glass on the table and stood up.

In an instant, the three of them all looked at him, a bit bewildered.

Zhao Qing felt slightly embarrassed under their gazes. After a long pause, he said, “I’m just going to the restroom.”

“Tch.”

The three of them rolled their eyes simultaneously. They thought he had some constructive suggestion.

Zhao Qing laughed awkwardly and ran out of the private room.

Mei Liangxin, watching Zhao Qing’s wine glass, got an idea and had the waiter bring some wasabi, then smeared it inside the glass.

“Mei Liangxin, you actually went through with this? We’re all friends, you’re heartless!”

Xu Shaochen sternly condemned Mei Liangxin’s prank on their friend, finding it absolutely unacceptable.

Mei Liangxin was startled, then handed the wasabi to Xu Shaochen. “Why don’t you do it then?”

“Why didn’t you say so earlier?” Xu Shaochen’s face lit up with a bright smile.

Mei Liangxin: “………”

Zhang Wei: “………”

The four of them were dining in a top-tier private room at the Jiangzhou Grand Hotel. The lighting could be adjusted, and Xu Shaochen adjusted it to a dark green so the wasabi wouldn’t be easily noticed.

As for why the super large round table in the top-tier private room had been replaced with a square hotpot table, that’s the power of money.

If you have enough money, you can swap out the large round table for a hotpot table, or even turn the place into a bedroom.

………

Meanwhile, Zhao Qing was humming a tune while he relieved himself in the restroom, completely unaware that his three unscrupulous friends in the private room were plotting against him.

“Hic~”

A hiccup sounded, and a young man in a white shirt, who seemed a bit drunk, stumbled in and then stood next to Zhao Qing to relieve himself.

“What the hell, man! Watch where you’re aiming; you almost pissed on my shoes.”

Suddenly, Zhao Qing cursed and looked at the young man with some irritation.

The young man only glanced at him, then continued urinating as if nothing had happened, nearly hitting Zhao Qing’s shoes again, whether intentionally or not.

“Hey, do you not understand human language? I said you nearly pissed on my shoes. Be careful.”

Zhao Qing started to get angry and looked at the young man with an unfriendly gaze.

However, he didn’t want to cause trouble for Xu Shaochen, so he just said this and started buckling his belt to leave.

“Hey, wait.”

Just then, the young man’s voice came from behind.

“What’s up?”

Zhao Qing stopped and turned around to face the young man.

“Slap!”

The young man, stumbling slightly, walked over to Zhao Qing, smiled, and then suddenly slapped him across the face. Pointing at his nose, he said, “Damn it! So what if I pissed on your shoes? I’d do it on your head too! Fuck you! What kind of shit do you think you are to speak to me like that?”

“You son of a bitch!”

Feeling the burning pain on his face, Zhao Qing’s anger surged instantly. He kicked the young man to the ground and began pummeling him.

“Ah! Stop hitting me! You… do you know who I am? You’re dead; you’re fucking dead.”

The sharp pain coursing through the young man’s body started sobering him up, and he curled up on the ground, repeatedly threatening Zhao Qing.

“I don’t give a damn who you are! Even if you were the King of Heaven, I’d still beat you! Next time, watch yourself. This isn’t your home; no one spoils you like your daddy. Idiot.”

Zhao Qing spat and kicked the young man again, then turned and walked out of the restroom.

“You… you’re going to regret this. You’d better leave Jiangzhou overnight. If I don’t find you and kill you, I’m not my father’s son!”

The young man staggered to his feet, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and glared viciously at Zhao Qing’s retreating figure.

“Big talk, huh? I’ll be waiting for you to bring it on.”

Zhao Qing didn’t even turn around as he said this. After mixing with Xu Shaochen for so long, he had unconsciously started to act more boldly.

“Ptooey!”

The young man spat out a mouthful of blood and headed unsteadily back to his private room, eyes filled with deep-seated venom.

“What…what happened to Young Master Mei? Who did this? Who dared to beat up Young Master Mei like this?”

“Damn it! We must settle this score!”

When the others in the private room saw Mei Liangxin’s disheveled appearance, they instantly went berserk.

Ye Pengfei and Han Feng were among the group. Due to their connection with Xu Shaochen, the two had become friends and were always seen together.

“Alright, thank you all, but I’ll handle this myself!”

This time, Mei Liangyu had come to Jiangzhou with Liao Jie to lead the group. He was in charge, and his mission was to take Mei Liangxin back to Songshan.

Though he wasn’t part of the direct lineage of the Mei Family, he was still highly valued and held a relatively high status, ranking third in the family.

Since Mei Liangxin hadn’t been in Jiangzhou for the past few days, he had been hanging out with Ye Pengfei and other rich second-generation heirs, leveraging his status as the third young master of the Mei Family.

Having suffered such a great loss, he had to handle it personally. If he let others help, what face would he have left?

“Young Master Ye…”

Just then, a waiter entered and whispered something to Ye Pengfei.

Ye Pengfei waved the waiter away, then looked at Mei Liangyu and said, “Third Young Master Mei, the person I mentioned to you, Jiangzhou’s number one young master, is also dining at this hotel. I’m planning to go say hello, but given your current situation…”

“It’s fine, let’s all go together. I was just thinking of meeting this so-called number one young master you all speak of.”

Before Ye Pengfei could finish, Mei Liangyu dismissed it nonchalantly. It was just a minor injury, nothing serious.

Besides, with the help of this top young master of Jiangzhou, wouldn’t it be much easier to take Mei Liangxin back? “So let’s go together then! I heard Xu Shao just returned from Yunzhou. Let’s all go and greet him.”

“Let’s go together…”

The seven or eight people in the private room each grabbed a wine glass and followed out one after another.
